Chords

[Verse 1]
Bm             A                     G
You, with your words like knives and swords

G
And weapons that you use against me 

Bm        A                 G
You, have knocked me off my feet again

G
Got me feelin' like a nothin'

Bm             A                     G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board

G
Callin' me out when I'm wounded

Bm   A                     G
You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A                        D               G      A
 Well you can take me down with just one single blow

    G*
But you don't know, what you don't know...
[Chorus]
D       A       Bm                  G                 
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 

    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

D       A       Bm                      G                    
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 

    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

                   D      C D  
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Verse 2]
Bm             A                                                  
You, with your switching sides and

     G                       
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation

Bm        A              G                                                               
You, have pointed out my flaws again
-stop As if I don't already see them
Bm          A                                          
I walk with my head down

          G                                                     
Tryin' to block you out 

         G
'Cause I never impress you

Bm     A           G                                                               
I just wanna feel okay again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A                                                            
I bet you got pushed around

D        G        A                                        
Somebody made you cold

A                                                                                          
But the cycle ends right now 'cause

G
You can't lead me down that road
G -stop And you don't know what you don't know [Chorus]
D       A       Bm                  G                
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 

    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

D       A       Bm                      G                   
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 

    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

                   D     C D   A   G 
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Bridge]
          A
And I can see you years from now in a bar

D               G            A
 Talkin' over a football game

A
With that same big loud opinion

D            G        A
But nobody's listening

A
Washed up and ranting about the 

D* *once   A*       G*     
Same old   bitter   things

A                                 D* A*    G*  
Drunk and grumblin' all about how I  can't sing

 no chord         D    A  Bm  
But all you are is mean
[Interlude]
G              D            A          Bm
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic

    G                 D         A         Bm        G
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
*Palm mute first 2 lines*
    D       A       Bm                  G               
But someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 

    D          A                G      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean,  yeah--ah
[Chorus 2]
D       A       Bm                      G                    
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 

    D          A               G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

G                   D
Why you gotta be so...Someday

A       Bm                 G               
I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean)

    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)

D       A       Bm                      G                   
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)

    D* *once   A*               G*
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

                   D*
Why you gotta be so  mean?
